20140007307 | METHOD OF PREPARING AND IMAGING A LAMELLA IN A PARTICLE-OPTICAL APPARATUS | 01-02-2014 |
20140070095 | Method of Performing Tomographic Imaging of a Sample in a Charged-Particle Microscope - The invention relates to a method of performing tomographic imaging involving repeatedly directing a charged particle beam through a sample for a series of sample tilts to acquire a corresponding set of images and mathematically combining the images to construct a composite image. The latter of which consists of, at each of a second series of sample tilts, using a spectral detector to accrue a spectral map of said sample, thus acquiring a collection of spectral maps; analyzing said spectral maps to derive compositional data of the sample; and employing said compositional data in constructing said composite image. | 03-13-2014 |
20150348752 | Ion Implantation to Alter Etch Rate - Implanting a material in a pattern hardens the material in the pattern for subsequent etching. When the region is etched, by ion beam sputtering, chemically enhanced charged particle beam etching, or chemical etching, a thicker structure remains because of the reduced etch rate of the hardened pattern. The invention is particularly useful for the preparation of thin lamella for viewing on a transmission electron microscope. | 12-03-2015 |

20140268112 | COMBINATION VISUAL FAULT LOCATOR SHORT HAUL DISTANCE TEST MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT FOR OPTICAL FIBERS - A hand-held instrument uses a red laser to both provide a visual indication to the user of where a fault is present along an optical fiber, and a distance measurement to the user where the fault is present along the optical fiber. The instrument provides a single bulkhead to which the optical fiber is attached to accomplish this dual functionality. The instrument passes a beam of red light into the optical fiber. When the red light encounters a fault in the optical fiber, the red light is emitted from the optical fiber so that the user can visually detect the fault. In addition, the red light is reflected back to the instrument and the instrument determines and outputs a distance measurement at which the fault is located. | 09-18-2014 |

20160032181 | SECURITY COMPOSITION AND USE THEREOF - A security product is disclosed herein comprising a pouch containing a composition, the composition including a mixture of a liquid, a polymer, a light-emitting material and a plurality of marker materials. The pouch may form part of a blocking device blocking an access passage that gives access to a restricted area, such as a manhole, and the composition may be transferred onto an object or individual coming into contact with the composition if an attempt is made to break through the pouch. | 02-04-2016 |
20160032553 | SECURITY APPARATUS - Disclosed herein is a security apparatus comprising a blocking device having a formable bag and a marker layer including a transferable marker composition that can be transferred onto any object penetrating the marker layer and any other object or person coming into contact with the marker composition in the event of an attempt to remove the blocking device by puncturing the bag. The blocking device may block an access point such as a manhole to block unauthorised access. The formable bag may be made to conform to the shape of an access passage by inflation or deflation using valve. | 02-04-2016 |
